THE PROCEEDINGS In DETAIL.
THE SENATE.
Political Action in Refusing to Unite witt
the House Joint Convention.

Political Action in Refusing to Unite with
the House Joint Convention.
After prayer by Hon E. ". Davis, of Eikhart,
yesterday morning the Secretarys minutes OF
the session of Thursday were partially read,
when further reading was dispensed with.
Mr.. Campbell moved to strike out the words
President pro tenn where they occur in the
journal and insert the name of Senator Smith,
of Jennings, previous to his election as presiding
officer. He said he made this motion not as
political matter, but as legal proposition
whether or not they are to recognize the Senator
from Jennings as President pro tenn. before he
was elected SUCH whether or not he holds that
Office by virtue Of an election held at previous
session. and which, If established as a precedent,
may be considered as binding in the future. 1t
is a question of some Importance, and one that
may come home again sometime to vex the other
side 1t is matter that makes but little differ
ence to him personally; but it is serious ques-
ton whether they shall recognize an election
held at former session as binding at the open
Ing Of this. 1t is a thing unprecedented. 1t
should be decided as a legal question, and not as
political one.
Mr. Mcdonald. of White, interposing-Would
there be harm in inserting in this record mat
ter of history
Mr. Campbeli-If it be true that the election
Of Hon. A. G. Smith as President pro tenn OF
the last Senate made him the President pro tenn
of this Senate then the journal is correct: but
if that be not true, then the journal is not cor
rect. The President pro TEN. knew the speaker
was not making this question personal matter
He made nosobjection TO any Senator whom the
majority of the Senate may select as presiding
officer but did insist that an election of that
officer last session cannot be binding on this.
Therefore he moved to correct the journal in
this respect
The motion Of Mr.. Bailey to table the resolu-
ton prevailed.
The motion by which the Senate agreed to
unite with the House yesterday to hear the
Governors message reconsidered and then
tabled by the party majority.
On motion Of Mr.. Sellers the minutes OF yes
terday's proceedings were approved, under the
operation Of the previous question, by party
vote.
The President pro tenn. announced message
from the Governor, and reiterated the announce
ment several times, because a number of Sen
ators desired recognition from the Chair. AT
his direction the Governors biennial message to
the General Assembly was then read, an alb
stract of which will be found elsewhere.
Mr.. johnson offered q resolution that seats in
the Senate chamber be assigned by lot-so thai
each political party may be located together.
Mr.. Fowler moved that the resolution be re.
jected. With this pending the Senate adjourned
until 2 p NJ

will give you little description of one
of the best farms i'll the state of New Hamp-
shire, called the Boggy Meadow farm stu
ated in Walpole on the Connecticut river.
1t consists of about 900 acres stocked
with about 1000 sheep, A. head of cattle
mostly years-od steers to fat, and
eight horses. +. X. Seabury has the care
Of the farm, which is owned by w. p Ma
son of Boston. There are two tenants on
the farm, who raise about 80 acres of corn
and go acres of oats per year. The oats
are mostly sold and the corn mostly fed on
the farm. There are two silos. Last year
was the first years experience with ensilage
there, and it was put in whole and did not
prove satisfactory; this year it was cut and
has Just been opened, and will no doubt
prove all right. There is one field of 100
acres nearly as fiat as a floor, and not a
stone i'll the whole field The sheep are
mostly Merino, and it is generally acknowl-
edged that Merino sheep do better in large
ilOcks than others There is probably more
wood and timber ON this farm than on any
river farm in the state. The Cheshire rail
road runs the entire length of the farm.
The work is mostly done by horse power;
the corn is hoed and cultivated with horses,
and the oats are reaped, bound and thresh-
ed with them. The worst work of the
whole season is to husk 5000 to 5000 baskets
of corn by hand; but it is all done, and the
corn bins full are worth seeing. A small
eight-rowed corn has generally been raised
but this year a long-eared kind has been
tried, from which many ears IA and -
inches long can be picked out. There are
the most baskets to the acre of the long va
riety, and if when it is dry it shells out as
many pounds to the basket as the other it
will he the corn 10 raise. Last year a West
ern correspondent of a New Hampshire pa
| per thought there was no need of corn barns
in New Hampshire, but if he should visit
some OF the Connecticut river farms he
would see some as good corn as is raised
west and some good-sized corn barns with
something in them Cor. Mirror and Far

Il is practically impossible 10 tell, in two
consecutive years so nearly alike in the con
ditiun Of agriculture as were 1885 and 1885,
whether the markets have been going back
ward or forwards, unless recourse is had to
exact figures a comparison of prices in
the leading markets Of the country Janu-
AIRY /, 1887, with those ruling January I,
1886 shows very slight average changes
and in several commodities practically no
change whatever. In live stock cattle have
lost ground in the year in question, hogs
have gained, and sheep have changed 50 lit
Tie that they may be said TO have practically
held their own. Wheat has gained little,
corn is lower, oats are a shade higher, but
ter is higher pork is lower in spite Of the
advance in hogs. and wool has made IA
slight gain Upon the whole the past year
has not been one of great change, and as
far as the markets are concerned the situa-
ton is practically the same as year ago.
However, the general trend of change has
been toward Improvement, and the outlook
must be acknowledged by all close observ-
ers to be substantially better than at the
opening of the period in question. If 1886
did no more for the general farmer than to
put him in better position for 1887, it has at
least done that much for him And while
there is no enthusiasm over the prospect for
the new year, we find few if any farmers
who are not, with quiet confidence count.

The depreciation in real estate is not con
fined to the farming lands of New England.
Overproduction of the great staples of ag
riculture and consequent low prices must
necessarily affect the value of farming
lands at the west as well as here, though a
rapidly increasing population, as in Dakota,
ought to insure IA general increase in the
value of real estate. A Dakota correspond
cnt of the Northwestern Farmer, who
probably Judges from local rather than a
general knowledge of the facts, writes
There was time when Dakota doomed.
Land was readily bought up for ten to TWEEN
tV-iive dollars an acre "a few miles distant
from the larger towns. Today although
we raise bigger crops, and our facilities for
marketing are much better, it is IA hard
matter to find buyer at one-third the
original cost of the land. 1t has puzzled
me to account for the change. We all
know it is so, but why | for one do not
care to sell out, and | cannot find any of
my neighbors who are willing to try farm
ing in better country than this, but at the
same time we couldn't sell out if we wanted
to. viii you tell us why it is that land will
not fetch the same price now that it did
five or SIX years ago It's evident that many
who went west a few years since expecting
to get rich by increase in price of land have
been bitterly disappointed. Those who
were fortunate in securing good locations
and went to stay and develop the country
have not felt the decline that has been ac
companied by increase of taxes. But spec
ulators on small scale have suffered Sc
verely, Just as they deserved to. The fact
is that sums ranging from 50 900 to so,
900 iudiciously invested in our eastern anC
middle states have on the average proved
more profitable than similar amounts PLACED
in the west, and while the former has beer
generally accompanied by health, and com
fort and society, the latter has too Otter
been at the expense of these blessings

The merchant who within a week or so
af ter the year 1887 opens has not taken ac-
count of stock on hand, giving it value in
cash, compared this sum with that of the
same time the preceding year, and then by
noting the relative aggregate of receipts
and expenditures for the past year is able
To tell to certainty whether his business
has been a success or failure, would soon
he counted a certain failure by his fellow
merchants And the same is true of the
farmer He who started 1886 free of debt
and with a definite knowledge of his stock

mine how much over and above living for
his family he has made, The man whose
year has been one of borrowing and paying

Rarbed wire Fence Law.

NEW JERSEY DECISION As TO LIABILITY
FOR DAMAGES INFLICTED ON CATTLE OR
OTHER LIVE STOCK,
Justice Magic of the New Jersey supreme
court has Just laid down some important
barbed fence law, giving what is believed
to be the first decision by u competent judi
cial authority in this country as to the re-
sponsibility for damages inflicted upon cat
tie by such fence The case before him
was that of Karl Polak, New York bust
ness man, resident in Plainfeld, n. j.,
against Caroline and Samuel Hudson. The
Hudsons owned a field with barbed wire
around it, and Polak owned fine colt.
The colt and the fence had a row, which
resulted in injuries that made it necessary
TO kill the horse. Mr.. Polak then sued for
the value of the animal His lawyer, Craig
A. Marsh, set up the plea that the barbed
wire fence was legally an invention of the
devil and entitled TO no consideration in
court Justice Magic upheld him so far as
to declare as follows The right of the
owner is to put up suitable and proper
barrier to prevent the incursions of his
neighbours cattle, and to keep within his
own enclosure his own cattle But that
right is subject TO the duty which the own
er, in common with everyone else, owes to
his neighbor that duty is to so use his own
property as TO do no injury to the property
belonging to another The duty which the
owner who erects fence owes to his neigh
bor is a duty to be performed with refer
ence to the use of the adjoining land, ant
if that use he in the way of pasturage fol
horses and cattle, it must be with referenc,
10 the habits of such animals in their dispo
sition to break through, and no owner ma,
a right to erect such barrier, or TO incor
porate in it that which, in view of the nat
ural habits and dispositions of such animals
as would naturally be kept on the adioin
ing land would be dangerous and likely t,
produce injury The plaintiff is entitled t,
recover from the defendants, although h
had bailed his colt 10 the adjoining owne
to be kept at pasture, and although tn
owner knew of the existence of this wire
II is understood that this issue will be still
further contested by the barbed wire man
ufacturers, whose interests will be serious
ly affected if it goes unquestioned,
